ASSESSMENT 90 mins Learning Task 4: Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions that follow. A. Aggressive driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries and fatalities. The first reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is that it causes crashes. According to NHTSC, between 78 percent (excessive speed) and 100 percent (improper passing) of the cases of aggressive driving resulted in traffic crashes and 96 percent of the drivers cited for “following too closely” or tailgating caused crashes as a result of their aggressive driving. Moreover, “running red light,” “improper passing,” and “overtaking on the left” topped other categories of aggressive driving in contributing to traffic crashes. Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries. NHTSC states that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are, in almost all categories of aggressive driving, above 100 percent. Aggressive driving also causes fatalities. “Overtaking on the left” appears to be the most important contributing factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to aggressive driving. “Improper lane change,” “running stop sign,” and “running red light” rank second through four in terms of their contribution to traffic fatalities. The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crash injuries and fatalities. 1.

"Will mankind survive or not?" This question does not take no for an answer. "The progress of society, the life of civilization, must and will continue." These words are found in the report of the 27th Congress. What, then, is one to think about the massive pile up of nuclear weapons on our planet? For each child in the world - Filipino, Chinese, Russian, Arab, American, French, and African - there are three tons of explosives. Every day, two billion dollars are spent on armaments and twenty hydrogen bombs are manufactured while millions of children all over the world die of hunger and disease. When the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the entire city was destroyed. About 60,000 people were killed and approximately 100,000 were wounded. For the sake of saving our planet and the future of your children, people all over the world should intensify the struggle to stop the arms build-up and to  Suggested IV.

In his talk to the people of the United States on December 8, USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev said, "We see the task in building a nuclear- free world. Today, we started a big undertaking, making a first step to eliminating nuclear weapons". Humanity has come to realize that it has fought enough wars, that wars should be banished.
